Quoted from HostGator facebook page:Sweeten the deal you say? Sure! How about up to the first 6 months free on new hosting accounts? Annual or longer billing cycles are currently 50% off. We're also offering domain registrations for 50% off currently!! Use coupon code 'godaddyisdown'

I have had about 20 sites hosted on Hostgator for about 5 years and they have excellent customer service and I have had no problems with my sites.

Just an FYI, I've read that the HostGator owner has either sold out or is in the process of selling out to EIG, a company that owns the hosts listed below. It's not a list that cries out "high quality web hosts" to me.

I'm a customer of Hostgator myself and haven't noticed any changes. But the sale has caused me to not commit to Hostgator for any more multi-year stints and start looking for a "Plan B" in case the service degrades enough to warrant it.

It is only a matter of time before hostgator is destroyed.

Just FWIW, I've been a bluehost customer for a couple of years.

Service and support are very good. The feature set is excellent.

But my web site response is quite slow.

Basically I'm happy b/c I don't have the traffic to require a faster site.
